The Los Angeles Angels didn't make the playoffs in 2023, but one thing that we'd discussed on the show this season was that they should aim for 90 wins, which would be enough to get a Wildcard spot. Turns out, teams like the Dodgers, Braves, and Orioles, who had a long layoff between the end of the season and the start of the playoffs seemed to struggle. So, what gives? Mike has a theory about this, and Jon has his own thoughts about it as well. We'll tell you how we feel about the playoff format and why 90 wins might be better than over 100 wins in segment 1!
Then, after being swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks, would the Dodgers consider letting go of manager Dave Roberts, and, if so, would pitching coach Mark Prior join him? If that were the case, Mike and Jon discuss if the Angels would consider pursuing them both and if they would help this team. We'll talk about it in segment 2!
Plus, many of you asked the question, and we've got our answers: would we rather have 10 years of pain and misery like the Angels have had, or would we rather be like the Dodgers who get to the playoffs each year, but can't seem to win it all? We'll discuss and share our preferences in segment 3!
